He’s not responsible for the pandemic happening. He is responsible for the federal government’s response to it.
The statement that this will all go away in the heat was wrong. 15 cases down to zero was wrong. The China travel ban accomplished almost nothing because most of the cases that originated outside of the US came from Europe. He refused to utilize the Defense Production Act to get more PPE. He allowed states to have to compete against each other for ventilators, this raising prices, rather than using the purchasing power of the federal government to lower prices. There was no national lockdown/reopening plan. He demanded states open up quicker than the epidemiologists were suggesting. He pushed unproven medicines.
I don’t blame Trump for a pandemic happening, I blame him for how he responded. If he doesn’t want that responsibility, that’s fine, he can step down as president.
Add to that, the push to reopen ASAP so that certain red states opened way too carelessly.
And Trump could have promoted mask use as the masks because available.
